Yes I didn’t realize how seriously people would view this until after I could no longer edit the comment. I mostly thought my story was funny. Though it is true that my Popwallet demagnetized my cards due to the ease with which once can accidentally contact the non shielded exterior of the magnetic wallet with the magnetic card. As I said down thread, apple intentionally designed a wallet that has to have relatively powerful magnets on the exterior. A lot of people in thread are claiming their apple wallet hasn’t demagnetized their cards, but they have not confirmed if they’ve accidentally contacted the magnetic exterior of the apple wallet with their card. Obviously the inside of the wallet is shielded and I don’t believe my card was demagnetized due to poor shielding, but by accidental contact with the magnetic face of the wallet during handling. Apple is clear in their marketing materials that the inside of their wallet is shielded, but they say nothing about risks associated with accidental card contact on the magnetic exterior of their wallet. And this is the situation of concern for me. Perhaps they use much weaker magnets than Popwallet, and you’re right that I can’t say for sure, but I suspect they still use reasonably powerful magnets and accidental contact with a magstripe on the magnetic side of their wallet could pose a problem for cards.
